This was the new Gymnastics Canada Competitive Introduction course. The dead tree manual now replaced with video and PDF content. 75% apparatus / 25% sport science.
Happy New Year!

Congratulations to Marisa Dick, Pauline Schaefer, Kitti Honti, Simone Biles (again), Brenna Dowell, Sophie Scheder & Kelly Simm for inspiring new elements in the Code of Points.
One example:
Gymnast: Kitti Honti
Country: Hungary
Skill: Gainer Flic Flac with 1/4 twist to handstand (2 sec) – lower to optional end position. If performed with additional half turn in handstand, no 2 sec hold is required.
Rating: C
Only Marisa Dick, Kitty Honti and Brenna Dowell got their skills named after them. The rest were just added without a name.
WAG WTC has historically been inconsistent in how and when skills are added. And whether or not the skill is named after the innovator.
Well done Boudewijn de Vries. Respect.
